Bodega Santa Julia
Torrontés del Mercado
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
The rosé seems to have more in common with a white wine than a red. The copper color is beautiful. Its nose displays cherry, but with a strong backbeat of citrus minerality. The palate expresses cherry and strawberry, while also bringing a lemony note to the table. The acidity is fabulous, really nice. I paired mine with lemongrass chicken and was delighted.
The Torrontés appears pale yellow in the glass. The nose has a floral note first, then some citrus minerality, and then a light lanolin salinity. It reminds me a bit of the seashore. The palate carries a brisk acidity and has lemon and stone fruit flavors. The pairing possibilities can reach beyond the salad range and go with risotto, shellfish, and roasted chicken.

Good example of variety. Almost always too floral/soapy for us.

A nice, sharp and refreshing grape with an good acidic finish at the end. Pair with something to nibble on - this one is a nice change up when looking for a solid white wine!

Dec 13th, 2022A spur of the moment buy at Whole Foods, I’m relatively pleased with this one. Deep blackberry color you expect from a Malbec. Flavors a bit on the spicy side but nothing really complex. Has a nice, smooth finish. A decent value at $15 for a full liter vs the usual 750ml. Surprised by the clear glass bottle but otherwise a decent casual night at home, drinkable Malbec.
